Grantwetter

Grantwetter is the weather app that tells it like it is. Instead of “cloudy” you get the grant-o-meter from 0 to 10 – and a persona who grumbles along. And when it gets truly awful, the app cheers you up: with recipes, rain and fireplace sounds, a breathing exercise and a sticker album for weather survived. WEATHER THAT GETS YOU • Grant-o-meter: temperature, rain, fog, wind, grey days and even Mondays in one number • Around 700 lines that match the time of day, the weather and the temperature – fresh insults at the weather every day • Today's high and low, sunrise and sunset at a glance • Forecast for 24 hours and 10 days – with a day overview: hourly rain, wind, UV and sunshine hours • UV index at a glance: from UV 6 your persona nags you about sunscreen, from UV 8 the grant goes up • Rain in the next hour and severe weather alerts • Schadenfreude radar: where is it even worse right now? • Sun countdown: when will the sun be back? COMFORT ME • Comfort push: on miserable days you get one line from your persona about the weather in the morning – a tap opens “Comfort me”. Nice weather? Nothing. • Comforts that match the weather: iced coffee in the heat, a blanket fort in the rain, mulled wine in the cold • Real rain and fireplace sounds and a breathing exercise • Poke the grumpy cloud and keep your poke streak: a smile a day, stickers at 3, 7, 30 and 100 days • Sticker album: a sticker for every rotten day you survived EVERYWHERE • iPhone Duo: everything at a glance when unfolded, half open like a book – weather on the left, forecast on the right • On iPad everything at a glance: today, 24 hours and 10 days with the day overview side by side • Home screen and lock screen widgets • Apple Watch app with complications • Three designs: Grant Brutal, Grumpy Cloud and Tabloid GRANT PASS (OPTIONAL) Try it first: all designs and personas free for 7 days, no subscription. All designs and personas – Granny, the burnt-out coach, the drama queen and the clerk –, personal comfort written by AI, every comfort, the full sticker album up to 5 places and your own time for the comfort push. Monthly or yearly; the price is shown before you buy. The subscription renews automatically and can be cancelled any time in your Apple ID settings. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no account.

Rudecast: The Weather App That Roasts You Back Tired of boring weather apps giving you dry forecasts with zero personality? Rudecast delivers the weather with savage snark, brutal honesty, and zero sugarcoating because let’s be real, you don’t need another polite app telling you it’s “partly cloudy.” What You Get (Besides Insults): Hilariously Rude Forecasts – Get the weather, but with attitude. If it's raining, expect passive-aggressive mockery about your wet socks. If it’s hot, we’ll remind you that you made terrible life choices living where you do. Snarky Hourly & Daily Reports – Because checking the weather should be entertaining, not a chore. Customizable Rudeness Levels – Feeling sensitive? Keep it Mild. Want full-on verbal abuse? Crank it up to Assault Mode. Brutally Honest Temperature Descriptions – Not just “85°F and sunny”, but “85°F? Hope you like sweating through your shirt.” Wind, Rain, and Humidity Roasts – Find out exactly how much the weather is about to ruin your day with commentary that pulls no punches. Nerd Mode – For those who “need more details,” we’ll give you extra weather stats with an extra side of sarcasm. Why Rudecast? Because you don’t need another dull forecast. You need the weather served with personality, sarcasm, and just enough profanity to keep things interesting. Whether it’s roasting you for not bringing an umbrella or mocking your choice of clothing, Rudecast keeps things brutally honest so you can laugh while you suffer. Disclaimer: This app cannot control the weather (we asked). If you cry easily, maybe don’t use Assault Mode. Your umbrella is probably still in the car. Checking five other weather apps won’t make it any less rainy. So, if you’re ready to get insulted by your weather app, download Rudecast now. You deserve it.
